A female athlete who took testosterone-like steroids for several months stopped having normal menstrual cycles. What is the best explanation for this observation?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. Testosterone stimulates inhibin production from the corpus luteum
  2. Testosterone binds to receptors in the endometrium, resulting in the endometrium’s failure to develop during the normal cycle
  3. Testosterone binds to receptors in the anterior pituitary that stimulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
  4. Testosterone inhibits the hypothalamic secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and the pituitary secretion of LH and FSH
